Extracorporeal Life Support in Hemorrhagic Conditions: A Systematic Review
The use of ECLS for temporary circulatory or respiratory support in critical patients with refractory hemorrhagic shock appears feasible considering tailored ECMO management strategies.
Xenogeneic Cross-Circulation for Extracorporeal Recovery of Injured Human Lungs
Our findings suggest that cross-circulation can serve as a complementary approach to clinical EVLP to recover injured donor lungs that could not otherwise be utilized for transplantation, as well as a translational research platform for immunomodulation and advanced organ bioengineering.
Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement on Minimally Invasive Extracorporeal Circulation: Going beyond Aesthetics.
We advocate that our multidisciplinary approach supported by multiple technologies may be associated with faster recovery and superior outcomes than conventional minimally/conventional techniques.
Predicting Postoperative Delirium and Postoperative Cognitive Decline with Combined Intraoperative Electroencephalogram Monitoring and Cerebral Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Interventions
The results of our study show that the degree of intraoperative EEG suppression on one hand, and low rScO2 at the end of procedure on the other hand, are associated with respectively POD and POCD in patients undergoing cardiac interventions.
Selling the Role of Salvage: Cell Salvage Past and Present
Despite the body of evidence to support the use of salvaged blood for transfusion, hesitation around its use still persists, with staff apprehension around set up of cell salvage equipment and general underestimation of intraoperative blood loss being key factors in its underuse.
Optimization of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Therapy Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy to Assess Changes in Peripheral Circulation: A Pilot Study
NIRS for optimizing ECMO therapy may be reliable for monitoring global circulatory status.
Connector Sensors for Permittivity-Based Thrombus Monitoring in Extracorporeal Life Support
The connector sensor is therefore envisioned as an affordable alternative to OCT for real-time permittivity-based monitoring of thrombogenesis at tube–connector interface.
Risk of COVID-19 Among Front-Line Health-Care Workers and the General Community: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Health-care systems should ensure adequate availability of PPE and develop additional strategies to protect health-care workers from COVID-19, particularly those from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic backgrounds.
The Effect of Roller Head Pump on Platelet Deterioration During the Simulated Extracorporeal Circulation
We thus conclude that roller pumping induced platelet apoptosis and caused decreases in platelet count and aggregation after the recirculation.
Haemoadsorption: Effective in Reducing Circulating Fragments of the Endothelial Glycocalyx During Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Patients Undergoing On-Pump Cardiac Surgery?
In this study representing a real-life scenario, we could demonstrate that the novel hemoadsorption device (CytoSorb®) was able to effectively adsorb HEP from the circulation if integrated in a CPB circuit.
Extracorporeal Hemadsorption versus Glucocorticoids during Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial
We compared intraoperative hemadsorption and methylprednisolone, with usual care, during complex cardiac surgery on CPB, for inflammatory responses, hemodynamics, and perioperative course.
Post Cardiotomy Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Australian Cohort Review
Identification of poor prognostic indicators in this study may help inform the development of guidelines for the most appropriate use of this support modality.
